Benefits of technology

[0007]Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a multi-band antenna system with high directionality and high gain.
[0008]Another object of the present invention is to provide an antenna system that is small and low cost, that has a low profile, and that is suitable for application to small wireless network products.

Problems solved by technology

M377714, are bulky and require electrical connection to additional grounding planes.
On the other hand, fabrication of antennas with three-dimensional metal structures generally involves multiple bending processes, which can be time-consuming and costly.
In addition, planar inverted-F antennas generally have a relatively poor range of gain values (typically about 3 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 4 dBi at 5 GHz), and are characterized by non-broadside radiation (i.e., poor radiation directivity).

Abstract

An antenna system includes: and antenna module and a system module. The antenna module includes a substrate, and a plurality of planar dipole antennas each including a short-circuit section, two first radiator sections operable in a first frequency band and connected to the short-circuit section, and two second radiator sections operable in a second frequency band and connected to the short-circuit section. The planar dipole antennas are arranged such that geometric centers thereof are respectively spaced apart from a center point bounded by the planar dipole antennas by a predetermined distance, such that each of the planar dipole antennas is spaced apart from an adjacent one of the planar dipole antennas by a predetermined minimum distance. The system module has a grounding plane that faces toward and that is spaced apart from and parallel to the substrate.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority of Chinese Application No. 201010282201.7, filed on Sep. 14, 2010.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to an antenna system and an electronic apparatus having the same, more particularly to an antenna system with multiple planar dipole antennas and an electronic apparatus having the same.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Most modern wireless network products, such as wireless access points, are compact and lightweight. Therefore, how to reduce space occupied by antennas in the wireless network products without significant adverse impact to antenna performance is always among the subjects of endeavor in the antenna industry.[0006]Conventional monopole antennas, such as one disclosed in Taiwanese patent No. M377714, are bulky and require electrical connection to additional grounding planes. On the other hand, fabrication of antennas with thre...
